need some opinions/ideas/suggestions hi guys,
I'm planning on putting a Supercharger into my AC Cobra, because space in the engine compartment is very limited I can't purchase a complete kit and just bolt it on, so I have to get me a head unit only and fabricate the brackets and pipes/elbows myself.
so far so good, but here are starting the Questions!!
which Manufacturer/Head Unit to pick, there are so many choices to choose from.....
how much pressure to run with a stock engine setup....
how much lbs/hr should the Injectors have...
what parameters need to be altered in the PCM (using LS1-edit)....
I have a all stock LS1 from a '99 Camaro and for the near future I'm not planning on changing any of the internals

It looks like it was the only solution for him.
I would go with 60lb fuel injectors http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=583, GSS 340 fuel pump http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=777 and have it set up for 8 psi of boost.
You should have plenty of room for a large front mount intercooler, such as this one. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=655
If you go with the C5 ProCharger, you will also need this balancer. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=859 Bob

hey Bob, thanks for your response
that Corvette project is awesome!!! the Charger on that Corvette is a reverse rot., right? I think that would be a perfect solution for my space problem. I'm just tryin' to figure out which side would have enough room for the SC, drivers side I would have to move the water tank and the belt tensioner, but I think the SC will interfere with the steering....
passenger side I would have to find a new spot for the alternator....
I even thought about a magnacharger, think there would be enough space in the rear....
